The Westover Super Cinema, later known as the Westover Cinema, was opened in 1937. It was designed by William Riddell Glen for Associated British Cinemas. The cinema was renamed the ABC in 1958, the Cannon in 1983, and the MGM in the early 1990s. It reverted to the name ABC Cinema in the late 1990s and was closed in 2017.
